I've been using this e-maill address forever, now all the sudden it wants me
to type in my username and password, and when I do, it tells me i'm wrong,
but its not wrong.
So what do I do?
 
Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. Those tend to corrupt the password store. Windows Mail
is not compatible with most McAfee or Norton security programs.
Those will need to be uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

How do you customize the spell checker in Windows mail? for ex. to put in
scientific terms by typing the first few letters and have a folddown or an
auto correct. or to enter uncommon terms or phrases.
 
You seem to be asking about two different features.
Windows Mail has spell check, but it doesn't have an auto-correct feature.
The user dictionary is located at
C:\Users\"youraccount"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
Mail\UserDictionary.lex
 
You can add any words you want to the custom dictionary, either one at a
time while spell checking, or 'en masse' by opening the following file in Notepad:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\UserDictionary.lex.

As Dave already advised you, Windows Mail doesn't have auto-correct.
Windows Live Mail does, which is one reason why I prefer it for mail.
